Bound by Blood: A Rodriguez Family Novel

"Call me Books – Everyone else on the West Side does." Ava 'Books' Rodriguez is just a typical 19 year old, ready to head out for her first semester of college; a feat unheard of in the hood. But when her best friend, the leader of the largest gang in town, the Locos, goes missing and ends up dead, instead of sun-dappled college campuses, she remains in the bowels of Ft. Worth, searching for a killer and making some serious enemies along the way. The Locos, The 68's, and El Muerto Palido, The Pale Death, with his gang the Pale Riders, are all on her trail now. As if having the three largest gangs in town gunning for her isn't enough, her bloody search for a killer, and the secrets that she uncovers along the way, could be the death of her. Or worse – the deaths of those she loves the most.
